PASTOR HARtIS

FROM ST. MARC
(Continued
The ousting was the result of
a long legal battle between the
American organization, repre-
sented by Cabinet Leger of
Port-au-Prince, and Reverend
Harris. According to informed sour-
ces, Pastor Harris had originally
brought suit for $8,000 which he
claimed was the amount due him
from the Washington Mission
due to a cut in his allocation
during war time.

- The Lott Carey Mission filed
a counter suit establishing that
the decrease in allocation had
been accepted by Pastor Harris
and demanded an accounting of
the large sums he had received
from them. They stated that
the school and church had been
built with Lott 'Carey funds and
that since its completion Harris
thought he could exploit It for
his personal profit.

Pastor Harris won the first
round of the fight in the St.,
SMarc courts and Lott Carey ap-
pealed the-case in the Tribunal
de Cassation. The Tribunal de
Cassation broke St. Marc's court
judgement and sent'the case to
the civil court of Port-auPrin-

was carried out strictly against

OUR SUGAR QUOTA ON
We recently published sever-
al articles in connection with
the action of the American Se-
r.ate tending to reduce by more
than 2,000 tons the quota figure
for our sugar which had been
granted Haiti by the lower
chamber of the United States
Congress. W'e believe it useful
to once again point out the im-
portance of T..- (iuot tfo,- Hai-
tian economy.
It is true that Haiti, up
to the present, has not
been able to fulfill integrally
the quota of 40,000 metric
tons stipulated by the
International Council of Su-
gar on the world, but this in no
way affects the question which
we are bringing up. The import-
ant point is the difference in
the price which Haitian sugar
brings on the American market
in comparison with the prices
obtained on the world market.
This difference exceeds 2c,
U.S. currency, per pound.
The current on the world mar-
ket is something lihg $3.30 per
100 lbs. f.o.b. On this figure of
$3.30 per 100 lbs. the Haitian
Government levies an exporta-
tion tax of '$0.44, U.S. currency,
leaving a gross price of $2.86 per
100 lbs. to the exporter. This
price of $2986 is below the re-
tail price of sugar and
as a consequence the Had.
tian, exporter stands a

FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT

THE pBEAT DECISION
New York Feb 27th...
.aiti and the United States both face presidential election ; in the
months to come and for each there exists a peculiar problem.
A sense of frustration must certainly be evident among supporters
orf President Paul Magloire. For this man has been tremendously po-
pliar and has contributed substantially to the economic and social
development of Haiti, burt at the same time, "the constitution of his
cdtintry forbids him to run for a second term.
S- The United States, however, faces
a completely different problem. In
America a president can be elected
i. tfor a second, third or fourth term,
tor, for that matter, for as many
terms as the people desire to keep
him in office. Franklin Delano Roo-
sevelt. it will be remembered, was
elected for a fourth term. go, Hai-
ti's problem is not ours.
Our problem is one of a man's
health a factor which can not be
amended or changed by the vote of
the people -as a constitution can be.
And it just so happens that the man
.whose health we Americans are pon-
derin is the current president of
the country, Dwight D. Eisenhower.
This is not news in itself, for last
.September 25 headlines around the
world, including Haiti's, announced
.that he had offered a heart attack. What may be of interest, however,
is the turmoil that the state of his health is causing in the United
S&atea today. 0
Four year ago aike, then a neophyte in the political arena, buta
a geniu:s on the battlefield and the kind of genuine, huiable and un- t
sophisticated man that most Ajmericans found themselves endeared
to, was elected President of the U.S. He was elected by more votes
than any president before him had been able to amass. And he wasu
,the man who was able to break the twenty-years of Democratic rule. i
Four year ILatter his political honeymoon g has not dimmed; he ist
still the idol of millions and generally considered to be the only mant
who can keep the Republicans in control of the Presidency for the
next four years. .
In the years to come President Eisenhower may be criticized for S
such details as not outwardly condemning Republican Senator Josephr t
McCarthy two years ago when a Senate committee was investigating t
-het metho( with which the Senator rooted out Communists in this o
.,coittry; not rebuking Secretary of State John Foster Dulles who has
.,on several occasions given the world the impression that the U.S. is
..on the wariath; not advancing such popular causes as foreign trade.
And, it i5 t o n vxPKevtd thql hie will be continually criticized by De-
.WO t f ./l',ering farm pjrices to halt huge surpluses and for slight-
ly reducing our e,:penditures on defense. But this is largely the result
of party stile; cven some members of his own party violently cfisa-
gree with Ws distaste for isolationism, among other things.
On the other s!de of the ledger, Ike's reputation will long be re-
membered for a lot more that is far greater in scope. Peoples around

President's Great Great Aunty
Invites All To 100th Birthday

Mine Grandisson Moise, the
great, great aunt of President
Paul Magloire, announced last
week that she hopes the Pre-
sident, her many friends and
just everybody will be able to
help her celebrate her 100th
birthday next February.
Her comfortable home, at the
attractive little town of Quar-
tier Morin, is always open to vi-
sitors and during August's fes-
tival of St. Louis the doors are
opened w'de and people come
from miles around to join in
the festivities. The town of Quar
tier Morin is the home-town of
President Paul Magloire who
had the lovely Chapel St. Louis
de Morin r.hbuilt at his own ex-
pense last, year.
The grand old lady, who bro-
ke her leg three years ago but
who said the Port-au-Prinee
doctors fixed me up very well,,
is up and around every morning
when she attends Mass, joins
in the singing of hymns and
tries to attend all local wed-
dings.

Smiling and spry at 99 years
)f age she readily answered
questions on a variety of ques-
tions ranging from the Americ-
an occupation to her opinion of
modern dancing.
When asked about the many
neidents in her past that come
to mind, she replied, (as the na-
tural protector of my people I
always tried to stop the violen-
ce and killing of innocent per-
sons that took place during the
uprisings and insurrections that
took place before the American
occupation I always tried to

teach the values of human life
to generals on both sides of the
conflicts.
e I found the American occu-
pation very hard in the beginn-
ing but like all Haitian people
I feel that it brought peace to
my country. v
Supervising the opening of a
bottle of ch.munpagne, with stern
insistence that the glasses be
spotlessly clean, Mine Moise, in
answer to questioning as to
whether she liked champagne,
spread wide her arms and said,
e but of course. I like every-
thing. '
Constantly inter-rupted by vi-

sitors that flowed through her
house she stated that she-
thought irodern conveniences
were wonderful and that call of
these things are helpful and
am glad to see my country im-
proving and advancing.- We had
asked her what she thought of
electric lights, radio, automobi-
les, etc.
There was general laughter
amongst her relatives when we
inquired as to whether we were
tiring her. e You can not tire
here She always tires us and
will do the same for you. She
is constantly on the go and mov-
ing about,; the onlookers re-
plied.
Modern dancing entered the
conversation and the smiling
old lady, over her bubbling glas,

THE FRESCO MAN
Owner-of a home-made push-
cart fitted out with a fifty pound
block of ice and a dozen quart
bottles of variously coloured sy-
rop which he pours onto cubes
of shaved i-te to make a kind of
water-ice, t' e 'fresco man v is
to Haitian children one of the
most int'rpsting people in the
world.
He is -o be found almost every-
where in hront of schools,
pushing through the crowd at a
football game, weaving through
the stalls in the market place,
wherever there' are people and
especially where there are chil-
dren.
Chief item among the fresco
man's> tdols is a small metal
box, oddly shaped, with a slit at
the bottom containing a flat,
- sharp blade. He passes it over
the, block -of ice in a smooth
swishing motion, like a carpent-
er planing wood, and the ice is
shaved into the box which when
it is filled produces a 4 fresco
of the shape of the interior of.
the box.
The o fresco man t then takes
it out of the box, pours syrop
&ver it from one of the vaxious-
Jy coloured bottles ranging from
traxlsparent to deep red or
bright yellow, and hands it to
the c-astomer who ordered it. He
receives e cinq cob in exchan-
ge one cent in American cur-
rency.
The p-usn-tart which the fr0e-
co man; uses to take his mate-
rials about i s made of wood,
with three metal wheels one
in front rnd two at the back.
Two iron bars of different
lengths are used as axles and
the total cost of the cart may be
as much 3s six dollars while
each bottle of syroo costs 15
cents to make.
Raymnond is such a fresco
man,. Every morning he leaves
his house al half past six, so as
to be early at the place where
they sell ice, and where he will
buy twenty-five pounds to start
the clay.
Then be hurries to one of the
capital's lycees to wait for the
tchoo] children who come to
ichoonl at eight'o'clock, and he
slops on his way only if he is
called by nr, early customer.
At eight o'clock when all' the
children are in school, Raymond
pushes his push-cart through
the streets, far and wide, but at
tenr, thirty hie returns to the sell-
ers of ice for another block.,
then ret-rns to the school.
The ice i- covered with a piece
of thick sacking which prevents
it from melting quickly.

children rush out of school, you

It would be sad if there were
to be a repetition of something
which occurred in Costa Rica,
towards the end of 1948. At that
time I was the correspondent of
the United Press in San Jose,
and on Dec. 9, I received a ca-
ble from the United Press in
New York, saying that its office
in Mexico reported that rebels
had crossed the Nicaraguan
border into Costa Rica and that
fighting was taking place in the
frontier town of La Cruz.

When I asked President Fi-
gueres of Costa Rica for a state-
ment on the situation, he said
that he had no information of
anything imnsual having occurr-
ed. He immediately communi-
cated by radio with La Cruz,
and the situation was reported
to be normal. That night at 10
ofelock, however, the rebels
swarmed over the frontier and
occupied La Cruz.

Later I learned tham the coup
had been planned for Dec. 8,
and when ihe information was
given to Lh.- U.P. in Mexico by
allied conspirators in that ca-
pital, it was in the assurance
that the blow already had fallen.
A delay in the attack was nes-
cessary, however but the beaver
informants did not know about
the change in plans.

On another occasion in Pana-
ma City, during the early days
of World War II, I received a
news dispatch from Mexico say-
ing that a German tanker had
left Verz Cruz. There happened
to be a Briton in the office when

He has brought the issues at hand, political and economic, closer
t o the American people, partly through his weekly presi conferences,
a unique practice among American presidents. The country is witnes-
sing an unprecedented economic prosperity. Soial security benefits
have been extended to cover more people. Ever since the historic de-
,cision of the Supreme Court almost two years age, segregation bars
-are being slowly lifted.
But most important, Eisenhower faithfully believes that wider adop-
;tion and practice of the basic truths of life will go a long way toward
-settling domestic and global problems. In that same speech quoted
above, given prior to his leaving for Geneva, the President asked the
following of the American people: 'Suppose on the next Sabbath Day
observed by each of our religions, Americans -165,000,000 people
of us- went to our accustomed places of worship and. crowding those
places, asked for help and by so doing demonstrated to all the world
the sincerity and depth of our aspirations for peace.
-This would be a mighty force. None could then say that we pre-
serve Armaments because we want them. We preserve them because
we must..
These are the words of a man whose health is now a serious obst-
acle to his decision of whether to run for a second term as President
of .the United States.
For weeks everyone, the press, politicians, the American public, has
been discussing the pros and cons, predicting, but mostly simply won-
dering what he will do. And strangely enough, in a country where
.just about everyone knows everything that is going on. no one yet
.knows what the President will do.

Already machinery for election year has begun to move. Democratic
candidates have, for weeks, been speech-making across the country.
Several state primaries, have already closed their registrations. And
President Eisenhower has promised his decision by March 1.
He will he won't he will he won't. This kind of talk was of
the nature of a parlor game until February 14 when the President's
physicians reported to the nation on the state of the President's
health. 'Fully aware of the hazards and uncertainties that lie ahead.,
they said, 'we believe that medically the chances are that the Presid-
ent should be able to carry on an active life satisfactorily for another
live to ten years... But the choice -is his, not ours... What we have
-seen of the job and the way he has carried on during the last five
weeks are the reasons for the answer (we) have just given:
Thus the doctors seemed to think that Ike could do it and for
all practical purposes, they were endorsing a ayes- answer from the
President. But several weeks before, Eisenhower had said to the na-
tion, -I think probably I will trust my own feelings (in regard to the
decision to run) more than I will the doctors' reports.,
With the medical report made public the President flew to Georgia
last week for a rest-period and some serious soul-searching before he
gives his answer to the nation about Mtarch 1.
Eisenhower has said that he would like to remain in the White
House for at least eight years in order to carry out his program. Dom-
estically, the demands on his party are 'not so great. It is in the inter-
national field that the tremendous weight or responsibility challenges
Eisenhower. With threats of Soviet -aggression in the Middle East and
the tinder-box created by Arabs and Israelis posing the most danger-
ous problems at the present time, he knows all too well how import-
ant it will continue to be to have a strong and consistent policy eman-
ating from the"United States. Having brought his party into the
White House qnd realizing that undoubtedly cnly he ean keep it there,
he is torn between a sense of duty and a knowledge that his health
'may not hold out.

plied 4 Okay* when asked for
her photo.
Slightly taken back at hear-

ing her say cOkay> we asked
her, through the interpreter
able Eric Etienne of the Cap
Haitien Tourist Commission,
where she picked up such an ex-
pression. She answered, g I do
not know exactly but for many
years 'Okay' has been a Creole
expression. I enjoy listening to
other languages and love talk-
ing to people from other coun-
tries. I ho'e your country and
mine will become even better

also. 0
After leaving her house and
while driving through the co-
lorful little town, only a few
miles from Cap Haltien, Mr.
Etienne said:

Mime Moise is a wonderful old
lady and is one of our links with
the historic past. She not only
watched history being made but
assisted in the making. She is
greatly respected by h&r follow'
townspeople and has always
been a force for the good. x

Here Dr. Lindeman arriving in St. Croix after 65day crossing of Atlantic. He will soon give a lect-
ure here in Port au Prince and show the color photos he made of the historic Atlantic crossing. Later he
expects to go on tour of the United States and give a series of lectures before buying another boat and
crossing the Pacific. This next trip is to be a grand surprise. He is stopping at the Majestic Hoteli
The 29 inch wide African dugout arrived here from Jacmel by truck this week.

The -question then is whether he can physically assume the day-to-
rIay routine of the White House, in addition to the more important
policy-making decisions of international, and domestic, scope that
must be made, frequently .in a short time. Or assuming that he feels
he can not physically do this job without being a .-part-time, president,
as so many are now saying he will be if elected, perhaps he feels
he can wield a strong hand internationally as a kind of elder statesman,
not as a president.

The arguments go back and forth. One poll among reporters two
weeks ago predicted 16 to 4 that he would run (a similar poll January
8 indicated and ll-to-3 opinion against his running. Tu-wo days after
the physicians' report and the -day after the President's brother pre-
dicted that he would run, ,the New York Stock Market registered the
best day's rise since 1939.
But the decision is Ike's and at this moment only he knows what
it will be Whatever he announces to the U.S.. and Io the world, it
must be respected as a decision made as a result of considerable
thought and sincerely made with the best interests of the American
people, the peoples of the world and himself in mind.

ST. J. GRANT EXPLAINS WHY

I FLOUR MILL IS PRACTICAL
(Continued from page 1)

Mr. Allen has overlooked the
-fact that, to use his own figures,
the anill would have to ship 30-
000 tons of flour to Port-au-Prin-
ce each. year. That is roughly 300,-
000 sacks. These stevedores
would have to unload it, whether
it came by sea or by train. At
$0.10 per sack this would net
them $30.000. Them 30 or 40
thousand tons will be shipped to
.the oudotp s. This should yield
some stevedores either at the
mill or Port-au-Prince another 30
or 40 thousad dollars.
If Mr. Aktn will give these
facts due consideration I am sure
he will stow worrying about the
'fete of the stevedores.
' 3. Mr. Alien fears that the/ go-
.vArnment will give up its plans
for a new wjharf if the flour mill
is authorized, because it I11 not
be able to work at a profit. For
him., this is the end of a beauti-
ful dream.

I can't speak for the govern-
ment, of course, but I can speak
for myself .nd I take it upon my-,
self to -assure Mr. Alien that ifj
the government plans to build a
new wharf because it is needed,
the new wharf will be built.
The profit motive will not ent-
er except as an abstraction.
Does the Public Works 'pay a
profit, does the 'Public Health
Service pay a profit, do the
schools pay a profit? Yes, they
do, Mr. Allen, in better working
and living conditions, in a heal-
thier population, in a more in-'
telligent citizenry. The wharf
will pay a profit also, even
though it is not in cash. The
dream is not ended.

S4. Mr. Allen states flatly, with-
out qualification, that if no flour
is imported freight charges on
other imports will be increased.
Is he certain of this? If any res-
ponsible steamship official has
so threatened the government,
the matter should be investigat-
ed. This sort of thing is blaclf'-
mail. Chantage the French call
it, .,

5. Mr. Allen fears that if the
flour mill is authorized the fo
reign-Tnills will cut flour im-
porter's credit to the tune of 3
Million dollars. He implies that
the manager of the principal
mill supplying Haiti told him this
and that this was one of the rea-
sons for his lecture. Mr. Allen
should come out in the open and
tell us this man's name.
Now, this also could be term-

the American Congress, I am
sure.

All the furor -over sugar quo-
tas is because the American
Congress i5 considering a reduc-
tion in the Cuban quota to in-
crease the quotas of other sugar
producing countries. Haiti will
get her fair share of increase,
don't worry. But the increase
will not be so great in tonnage
as that granted to countries pro-
ducing three to four times as
much sugar as Haiti. Their per-
centage will be the same but
the tonnage greater. If you
don't believe this, write to the
American Congress or ask Max
Chauvet. He has looked into the
matter.

It is just as reasonable to be-
lieve that tle American Con-
gress woulrl boycott Cuban su-
gar because of an insignificant
flour mill in Santiago, as it
would be to believe that the A-
merican Congress would boy-

of this kind his services cannot

The men who Intend to build
this mill are not fools wetting
their feet for .the first time in
international commercial and
industrial seas. They know that
credit will have to be extended
if they expect to sell flour in
Haiti. And they are probably
ready to extend it on better
terms than firms with no mate-
rial investments on Haitian soiL
Apparently Mr. Allen never
thought of that.
5. Mr. Alien states
that the American Con-
gress is considering boy-
cotting Cuban Sugar because a
second flour mill will be built
in Santiago de Cuba. I wonder

Just think of that Mr. Gordon

then if you still want to be chil-

7. Mr. Alien opens a parenthe-
sis and states that the proposed
four and one half million doll-
ar mill announces that it will
employ about 500 persons, while
(he states) a similar mill any-
where else in the world would
employ not more, than 35 per-
sons.

That Parenthesis must have
come from Mr. Boals as Mr. Al-
len continues that Mr.
Boals continues The greater
part of the laborers employed
in a mill are specialized in their
trade and consequently the
greater part of the laborers em-
ployed in a mill are specialized
in their trade and consequently
the greater part of the positions
are filled by an imported per-
sonnel.
Let us look at all this obscu-
rantism objectively: Nuts! It
It would take 35 employees to
sweep up the dust and rubbish
from such a mill. And not one of
them would have to be import-
ed. It would take another 35
employees just to handle and
stick 1,700 sacks of flour every
day, not to mention the mecha-
Uics, the chemists, the clerical
workers and the supervisory per-
sonnel necessary for such a mill.
If Mr. Allen had ever seen a lar-
ge flour mill in operation he
would realize that an estimate
of 500 persons employed is rea-
sonable.

8. Mr. Allen worries about the
by-products. All of the wheat
berry is edible and nourishing.

CARDINAL SPELLMAN ENJOYS

DELAY HERE
(Continued from Page 1)

Poirier and the Nonce Apostoli-
que Luis G. Raymondi before
returning to the airport at 11:30
to continue his voyage.

The dapper and very soft-
voiced Cardinal told the c Sun 2
that this was his second visit
to Haiti. He had visited the
country between 1934-39 as a
simple priest in transit. He stat-
ed that he was very happy to pay
his respects. to President and
Madame Magloire who were his
guests in New York during their
official visit to the United States
last year.

The Cardinal, who only last
week received the annual Geor-
ge Washington Carver award for
the American who has done
more to better the understand-
ing in racial relations during
the past year, had a warm 'and
cordial word for the number of
people that surrounded him at
the airport, many %of whom
kneeled and kissed his ring the-
reby gaining 600 days of indul-
gence.

When asked whether he could
possibly come back for a longer
visit, His Eminence said that he
is always happy to visit Haiti,
but cited that his invitatLon to
talk at the Peace Conference
was extended six months before,
so if Haiti can find any good
reason to invite the Cardinal,
the invitation should be sent ear-
ly.

Informed that the plane
that would take hun to Vene-
zuela was delayed in Caracas
and that a special plane was fly-
ing from M..mi to pick up the
late passengers, he told the dis-
tressed PAA Manager David
Gossett that he never worries
about plane travel, that it was
unavailable and he is complete-
ly resigned and this is the
man who went around the
world in ?9 days to visit Korea.
'The American Ambassador,
who accompanied the Cardinal
invited"him to lunch at the Em-
bassy Residence asked whether
steak and eggs would be okay
the Cardinal replied: e Why
that's my Christmas dinner. i
Calling Ambassador Davis the
to the Embassy to dine.
